I don’t know where you’re located, but you could look at shopgoodwill.com. They have lots of sewing machines. If you keep an eye out you may find one.
People either love or hate the T & S.
My brother bought a house recently that came with three old sewing machines. In the bunch was a pink Kenmore, a green and white Janome New Home and a Touch and Sew. The first two are good but the Singer needs a new gear. I have one, just trying to work up the nerve to change it out. I had to reassemble the foot controller also. I have all the cams, the buttonholer and the circular sewer and the other standard items.
Touch and Sew is a slant shank and the accessories are interchangeable with all Singer slants IIRC. I have a Singer 9022 from the 80’s or 90’s and all the accessories for the T & Sew work on it except the cams, naturally.
Sewclassic.com and ngosew(amazon vendor)both carry some parts and most accessories for cheap.
Sometimes I do the hems by hand and sometimes I machine sew them; it depends but I always like to do the top by machine.
I had a serger but couldn't see well enough to thread it and ran out of patience so gave it away. I made some I forget what they are called, curtains that drape over hooks, swag curtains. They are very long; a pair for 4 windows. My friend serged the bottoms for me and I was thrilled. They don't show because they get gathered up. I don't plan on making more of those.
I also made balloon valances for the bathroom with plain cafe style bottoms. But now it seems like everything is the tab style. And I used to do pinch pleated drapes but I like things faster and simple.
